You need to show us the lines above that.  You almost certainly need to
have the python-dev (or python-devel) RPM installed too:  it has the
header files for Python.

Try:

  $ gcc --version

The system Python supplied by Apple is built *very* strangely, and is
likely not to be satisfactory.  My Mac-wielding partners recommend
installing the Xcode (?) tools first, then building Python from source
before building Zope.  Some folks use the compiler / Python from fink or
MacPorts, as well.
